Topic: Can Hep C be transmitted via semen? (Read 15139 times)

I'm just wondering. As discussed a few weeks ago I informed you all that I tested positive. However, I read that it couldn't be transmitted via semen. Is this true? I've been using condoms with my partner since I found out, and he's been tested for all STDs, but his doctor stated that since he's the "receiver" he has nothing to be worried about since Hep C isn't transmitted via semen.

Hep C is transmitted by blood only, but that can include rough sex if bleeding occurs. So, take care. Also don't share toothbrushes, razors and if you cut yourself take care with whatever made the cut. I have had hep c for my entire 27 years of marriage, and my wife is clear. Hope this helps.
